Barack Obama called the United States a “former colony” during his victory speech on Tuesday.CNS News reported:

In his re-election victory speech on Tuesday night, President Barack Obama referred to the United States as a singular “former colony,” when the United States was actually composed of 13 separate colonies prior to gaining independence from the British.

“Thank you so much. Tonight, more than 200 years after a former colony won the right to determine its own destiny, the task of perfecting our union moves forward,” said Obama, which was the first sentence of his remarks in Chicago, Ill.

Granny commented:

This is what happens when you elect a foreigner, a “world citizen”, to the presidency of the United States of America. Obama has proven over and over and over again that he has absolutely ZERO grasp of United States History – not even the number of states, never mind our early history.

BTW, let me add that while our 13 original states were British, much of our land is rooted in the French and the Spanish.

And to think how the Alinsky Media and the Progressive Left thinks Sarah Palin is stupid. LOL.

Who says America is not going down the sewer? I do. America is the most prosperous country on earth and a beacon of hope to the rest of the world. You may not like the current president, but America is doing just fine.

If you have an opportunity and see a car with an Obama/Biden sticker slash their tires, put sugar in their gas tank or anything else you can think of to cause them problems. Their going to bleed you dry it’s going to cost you money since he got elected get something back from them. Elections have consequences they didn’t have a problem when occupiers did it so turnabout is fair play. As the great Obama once said “do it for revenge”.

Not really. I don’t think he’s a particularly good president, but I don’t think he’s an evil person out to destroy America either. My two favorite presidents in my lifetime are Reagan and Clinton. Those were times of peace and prosperity. Both should have been, and could have been, elected to a third term.

[Boss and Obama, however, had a starkly different view. They believed that the economic stresses of the Carter years meant revolution was still imminent. The election of Reagan was simply a minor set-back in terms of the coming revolution. As I recall, Obama repeatedly used the phrase "When the revolution comes...." In my mind, I remember thinking that Obama was blindly sticking to the simple Marxist theory that had characterized my own views while I was an undergraduate at Occidental College. "There's going to be a revolution," Obama said, "we need to be organized and grow the movement." In Obama's view, our role must be to educate others so that we might usher in more quickly this inevitable revolution.

I know this may be implausible to some readers, but I distinctly remember Obama surprising me by bringing up Frantz Fanon and colonialism. He impressed me with his knowledge of these two topics, topics which were not among my strong points -- or of overwhelming concern to me. Boss and Obama seemed to think their ideological purity was a persuasive argument in predicting that a coming revolution would end capitalism. While I felt I was doing them a favor by providing them with the latest research, I saw I was in danger of being cast as a reactionary who did not grasp the nuances of international Marxist theory.]

Even Republicans Rejected Info About Obama’s Past

[What would you do if you knew that the top Democrat
running for president was lying about his past?

That is the question I was faced with in 2008. I had met the young Barack Obama while he was a sophomore at Occidental College, and I knew that his commitment to socialism was deep, genuine, and longstanding. See my earlier article on American Thinker.

I had been a leader of the Marxist students at Occidental College myself, starting in 1976 when I founded the precursor of the Democrat Socialist Alliance on campus. The young Obama I knew was a Marxist socialist who would have been quite comfortable with Communist party members like his Hawaii mentor Frank Marshall Davis, retired domestic terrorists like Bill Ayers, or active socialist politicians like Illinois State Senator Alice Palmer.]

Yes. There has been a global economic crisis. But the US is doing better than most countries. We have handled things much better than others. The economy is coming back. Employment is improving. We’ll be out of this in a couple years. The future looks bright.
